UFC executives today announced that UFC on FUEL TV 4, as previously reported, features a middleweight bout between Mark Munoz and Chris Weidman and is set for July 11 at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif.

Tickets for the event, which range from $50 to $175, go on sale to the general public next Thursday, May 24, at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT local time).

However, UFC Fight Club members can purchase tickets on Tuesday, May
22, at 1 p.m. ET, and UFC.com e-newsletter subscribers can buy their
seats on Wednesday, May 23, at 1 p.m. ET.

Munoz (12-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) returns after being forced to bow out of a key contest with Chael
Sonnen at January’s UFC on FOX 2 event. Munoz was replaced by Michael
Bisping, who would go on to lose a decision to Sonnen, who will now
challenge Anderson Silva for the middleweight title in July. Munoz is
also considered one of the top contenders in the division after racking
up a four-fight win streak and boasting a 7-1 mark in his past eight
fights.

Meanwhile, it was Munoz’s bad luck that allowed Weidman (8-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) to step into the
UFC on FOX 2 card on short notice, taking Bisping’s slot against Demian
Maia. While the fight proved a sloppy affair, Weidman grinded out a
decision win to remain undefeated in his eight-bout career and earn his
fourth UFC win in less than 11 months.

Te Huna (14-5 MMA, 3-1 UFC) returns to action on the strength of an impressive two-fight win
streak that includes a March win over Aaron Rosa in Te Huna’s native
Australia, as well as a September 2011 victory over Ricardo Romero. Te
Huna is 8-1 in his past nine overall fights, with the one lone loss
coming to UFC on FUEL TV 2 headliner Alexander
Gustafsson.

Meanwhile, Vera (12-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) looks to build on the strength of an October 2011 win
over Eliot Marshall at UFC 137. Vera was initially expected to face UFC
on FUEL TV 2’s other headliner, Thiago Silva, at May’ UFC on FUEL TV 3
event, but injury scrapped the matchup. Now Vera returns two months
later and looks for his first two-fight win streak since 2009.

Simpson (11-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC), a two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler, fought once
for the WEC and eight times for the UFC as a middleweight, and he posted
a 7-1 record in the process. But following a close split-decision
defeated to Ronny Markes at UFC on FUEL TV 1 in February, the
37-year-old announced his intentions of dropping a weight class.

Fitch (23-4-1 MMA, 13-2-1 UFC), meanwhile, fights for the first time since his disappointing
14-second knockout loss to now-top contender Johny Hendricks in
December. Prior to the defeat, the American Kickboxing Academy member
and former Purdue University wrestling captain was on a 5-1-1 run that
included wins over the likes of Paulo Thiago, Mike Pierce and Thiago
Alves.

Carmont (18-7 MMA, 2-0 UFC), a training partner of welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre, brings a resume on the rise. In his most recent appearance, he dominated Magnus Cedenblad at UFC on FUEL TV 2 before cinching a second-round submission. Prior to that, he outpointed Chris Camozzi at UFC 137.

Vemola (9-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) is fresh off a come-from-behind win against Mike Massenzio earlier this month at UFC on FOX 3. The fight served as his first in the middleweight division after a 1-2 run at light-heavyweight that saw him slide against Ronny Markes and Jon Madsen and bowl over Seth Petruzelli.

Dillashaw (5-1 UFC, 1-1 UFC), a Team Alpha Male product, was a finalist on “The Ultimate
Fighter 14,” where he ultimately lost to John Dodson in the live finale.
However, he’s since bounced back with a decision win over Walel Watson
at this past February’s UFC on FUEL TV 1 event. He now meets British
import Lee (12-7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC), who in his UFC debut lost a split decision to Cariaso at UFC
138 but ultimately bounced back with an impressive submission win of
Japanese legend Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto at February’s UFC 144 event.

Njokuani (15-6 MMA, 2-2 UFC) gets a quick turnaround after an impressive showing at this
past weekend’s UFC 145. The Las Vegas resident outstruck fellow standup
specialist John Makdessi en route to a unanimous decision, which put him
back on the right track after a split decision loss to Danny Castillo
at UFC 141.

Since migrating from the now-defunct WEC, Njokuani has hopscotched between losses and wins.

Taylor (11-6-1 MMA, 4-5 UFC) has done much the same, though he’s lost more than he’s won. Most
recently, he blew a returning Gabe Ruediger out of the water with a
head kick and punches at UFC 126. That got him back in the winner’s
circle after a razor-close decision loss to Sam Stout at UFC 121 and a
unanimous decision dropped to John Hathaway.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
